I'm not a Cintron fan but i don't think Berto will destroyed him. You actually think Berto would destroyed Angulo? Are you kidding me? Look at the size different. If freaking Collazo who can't pack a punch hurt Berto on a couple of occasion then what makes you think Berto will have an easy time with Angulo? Why cause Angulo isn't a southpaw?

Trust...If Cintron can OUTBOX Angulo....Berto Will Stick n' Move with Combination and would'nt get touch. It would be a SHUTOUT!!!

He WAY faster with Better defense...Easy win. I was actually looking for Angulo to show me somthing vs Cintron...He Showed that he is a a Typical Mexican BRAWLER and anytime they face a fighter with a little SKILL (Cintron is No-where near as skilled as Berto) there "one dimentional" style gets exposed. Asked Juan Diaz getting Schooled by Mallinaggi...Imagine if Malinaggi had Power.

And the size difference...is NOT HUGE. Angulo 5'10 - Berto 5'9 and Angulo has weighed in for several 154lbs fights as low as 150lbs. TRUST ME...A SHUT OUT!!!

Mainly his level of opposition is the reason he's not seen as an elite fighter. You become an elite fighter by beating many top contenders (as way of separating yourself from them) or beating other elite fighters. He's barely done the former, and has not done the latter.

Now I am not one to say that's the best reason, but Berto's team doesn't seem to be looking to make any big fights right now. And that's a good thing.

He struggled vs. Collazo, same one who Shane almost blanked in their fight. He can remove that stigma with a good win in a rematch. Yes Berto's Mgmt seems to use the "no money involved" line already. And Urango is a jrWW remember.

And Mayweather id not struggle with Judah like how Berto struggled with Collazo. Not even close. Mayweather was in cruise control after about 5-6 rounds. Bad comparison.

Berto needs to face guys like Judah, Collazo (again), Hlatswayo, Lujan, or Gomez before thinking of facing the Cotto's/Mosley/Williams/Mayweather of the WW division. Fights against the first guys on the list will tell us more.

Berto is a phenomenal athlete and excellent boxer. But it's a whole new game when you step up.

And no, he would NOT destroy Cintron or Angulo. They are big guys who can hit and take a punch.

Its not Berto Fault that he hasn't fought the TOP Welters...The Top Welters are All Vets Looking for a BIG PAYDAY. Why do you think Cotto is fighting Pacman, PBF vs JMM...There trying to get paid and Berto is the ODD MAN OUT.

After 23 fight...He fought Collazo And Urango. Remember he's 25 (26 this month). Sure Urango is a Jr. WW...BUT A BIG-AZZ Jr. WW...Still surpise he's making 140lbs.

Mayweather went in cruise-control vs Judah because of two reasons:
1. Mayweather is not a 25 year old kid...But a Crafty, Slick, Mentally Sharp Vet who knows how to adjust.

2. Judah is the MOST UNDISCPLINE FIGHTER IN THE SPORT!!!!

Collazo is a SOLID fighter who fights 12 rounds...not 3-5 EXPOLSIVE rounds like ZAB "FRONT-RUNNER" JUDAH.

I thought Berto Adjust well and had a BETTER understanding of how to fight a Southpaw once he fought Urango.

And Cintron and Angulo are NOT that HUGE. 2 fights ago Cintron was fighting at 147lbs and Angulo has weighed in for several fights at 150lbs.

TRUST ME....Berto wins easy. Neither Fighter has fought a Fighter with the Skill of Berto!!!!

What did DiBella do to make him "show an interest mean" in Shane and Cotto? Mention them in an interview?

The talks began after Berto defeated Forbes on the Mosley-Mayorga undercard. Shortly after the fight, Dibella was telling people that he was looking to match Berto against Mosley or Cotto. Arum decided to match Margarito against Mosley and Cotto against a softer opponent in Jennings and hoped to rematch Cotto-Margarito for a unification bout in June. Needless to say, Berto was left out of the mix.
